"(...) I let go, crying and unable to stop because God was such a dirty crook, contemptible skunk, thats what he was for doing that thing to that woman. Come down out of the skies, you God, come on down and Ill hammer your face all over the city of Los Angeles, you miserable unpardonable prankster. If it wasnt for you, this woman would not have been so maimed, and neither would the world, (...)"

"Words are a powerful aphrodisiac. They have the ability to awaken emotion, to excite the minds and senses. The right words entice, creep and crawl along the skin like the sensuous touch of a skilled lover. THAT my friends, is truly magical indeed..."

"and much addicted to speaking the truth. In her younger years she was a good deal of a romp, and, though it is an awkward confession to make about ones heroine, I must add that she was something of a glutton." - Author: Henry James

"If watching your child die is a parents worst nightmare, imagine having to tell your other child that his sister is dead... Although I am certain that he cried, that we all cried, what I remember more is how we collapsed into each other, as if the weight of our loss literally crushed us." - Author: Ann Hood

"A trees shade is worth more than the knowledge of truth, my sons, for a trees shade is true while it lasts, and the knowledge of truth is false in its very truth. The leaves greenness is worth more, for a right understanding, than a great thought, for the leaves, greenness is something you can show others, but you can never show them a great thought. We are born without knowing how to talk and we die without having known how to express ourselves. Our life runs its course between the silence of one who cannot speak and the silence of one who wasnt understood, and around it hovers — like a bee where there are no flowers — a useless, inscrutable destiny." - Author: Fernando Pessoa

"When we speak of the sangha, we speak of the "arya sangha," which means the "exalted sangha". At the time of the Buddha this referred to the arhats and bodhisattvas, the disciples who studied under him and achieved various levels of realization through their practice. But now who is the arya sangha? It is all of us, all of the practitioners of the present time. The moment we take refuge, which is to begin on the path, we hold the title of "sangha". As such, you should understand that you are one of the Three Jewels. You shouldnt put the Three Jewels outside of yourselves; you should always think of yourselves as being one of the Three Jewels—and that includes your body, your speech, and your mind." - Author: Dhomang Yangthang

"I am no longer a divine biped. I am no longer the freest German after Goethe, as Ruge named me in healthier days. I am no longer the great hero No. 2, who was compared with the grape-crowned Dionysius, whilst my colleague No. 1 enjoyed the title of a Grand Ducal Weimarian Jupiter. I am no longer a joyous, somewhat corpulent Hellenist, laughing cheerfully down upon the melancholy Nazarenes. I am now a poor fatally-ill Jew, an emaciated picture of woe, an unhappy man." - Author: Heinrich Heine

"(We) consist of everything the world consists of, each of us, and just as our body contains the genealogical table of evolution as far back as the fish and even much further, so we bear everything in our soul that once was alive in the soul of men. Every god and devil that ever existed, be it among the Greeks, Chinese, or Zulus, are within us, exist as latent possibilities, as wishes, as alternatives. If the human race were to vanish from the face of the earth save for one halfway talented child that had received no education, this child would rediscover the entire course of evolution, it would be capable of producing everything once more, gods and demons, paradises, commandments, the Old and New Testament." - Author: Hermann Hesse
